The audience laughter shows in part
that they're having fun in a shared
experience, hence the bit title
appropriately named, "Fun Facts."

Well the first few facts that Dave reads
are normally actual facts that aren't
really supposed to be funny. Then on
around the fourth fact they are made-up
and are funny. I actually enjoy this bit.
But for me the laughter I hear from the
audience is now worthless. Pity the
show feels it needs fake laughter.

How is the laughter fake?

The laughter is real, the show's need for pity is fake.
